This band is one that exceeds the mere concept of genre bending. These guys masterfully mesh folk, rock, and electronic sounds in a way that no band I've heard has done. One second you're hearing something reminiscent of the Rolling Stones, the next second something more like Pink Floyd and then something like a descendant of, say, Be Bop Deluxe. They're musical ADD in the best way possible. Meet Badass Band 99, Nacosta.
I heard about Nacosta quite a bit before finally getting around to see them, which I now kick myself in the ass for. Oh well, better late than never. As an outsider seeing them live for the first time, you think, "Man, this is like being in a carefully created musical time warp between the 60's/70's and something entirely its own." On top of the array of instrumentals, the harmonies between Marc, Ian and Brandon are unbelievable, mellifluous and strong.
Their debut record, Under the Half Moon, released back in March and it is well worth taking a listen all the way through. You don't know what to expect track to track and it's just a goddamn pleasure to listen to. A few of my favorite tracks are:
- "Paradise Cough"-Rock n roll track with a little synth flair. Definitely catchy with lyrics like, "Paradise cough, its everything you wanted it to be. Paradise cough, it will bring you down to your knees then high."
- "14 Feet"- Mechanical sounds to peak your interest at first, joined by drawn out harmonies. The keys will resonate in your bones throughout the track. My favorite lines are, "14 feet, buried below the sunset, with no cares and no qualms. 14 feet, sitting about the skyline. You're so sweet when you're alone. On those nights where there's no one home to care, or care about me anymore."
- "Aberlina"- bright guitars contrasted with deep rhythms and echoey vocals, this tune will take you on a journey through space. Just enjoy the ride.
Not too long ago, I was able to hang out with the guys from Nacosta, Brandon (Guitar/Keys/Synth/Vox), Ian (Guitar/Keys/Vocx), Marc (Guitar/Vox), Shane (Drums/Keys) and Jace (Bass). During this time they answered a few questions for me, so read on to find out how to truly pronounce the name, why being an LA band is a double-edged sword and what super cool fictional characters each member would chose to be.
When and why did each of you start playing music?
Brandon: I started playing music because my dad is a musician and ever since I was a little kid, we were just raised on music. It was just something I always did and then it became natural. There really wasn't much thought about it. It's just that I started doing it and that's just what I wanted to do.
Jace: I started playing music back in elementary school because I had the choice of either to going into a band or to go into choir. There was no way that a elementary school boy could ever do choir. I was like, "Okay, I'm going with the band." I had to decide right then and there. I was like, a violin? Let's do it. I'm still playing four string instruments.
Ian: I started in middle school because in elementary school, all I had available to do was choir. After elementary school, I didn't think it was cool anymore, so I moved to band and I started on sax, and then my brother actually brought a guitar. He never played it, so eventually I got sick of just seeing it sitting there. I picked it up and that's how I started with that. I pretty much have been playing ever since.
Marc: I started playing music when I was seven. I was kind of forced into it. It was just an extracurricular activity that my parents thought would be good. For the next 12 years, I suffered the cruel tutelage of Marjorie Vanderpool. That's my violin teacher. I'd say that she instilled the proper amount of respect and love for music. By the time I hit 18 and no longer taking private lessons, I dropped violin and picked up the guitar. I haven't put it down since.
Shane: I started playing music around the age of 13. I wanted just to copy what my favorite bands were doing, to have that energy. I'm really into Nirvana and Dave Grohl. He's reason that I started playing drums and guitar.
How did all of you guys meet?
Brandon: Is it weird if we say Craigslist?
Marc: Craigslist.
Jo: You're not the first.
Jace: Hopefully, Shane and Brandon didn't meet on Craigslist, but the rest of us did.
Shane: Looking for brother.
Brandon: Yeah, I mean, me and Shane are obviously brothers. We met though and then we met Marc actually at this really crazy psychedelic rock acid party kind of thing here in Silverlake. It's like this big jam. It was funny because we were supposed to audition actually for a spot on this festival. That all went to crap, but we met Marc. We jammed that night without knowing each other and that's how we formed. Yeah, we met Jace and Ian online.
Did you go through a lot of people before them or were they pretty solid contenders right off the bat?
Shane: We had a lot of auditions.
Brandon: Yeah, we did. We've had different people in the past, but this is the first time where it's been like the real full band where everybody is involved in the band. Whereas before, it's more like a recording project of Shane and I.
Why the name Nacosta (nuh-coast-uh, folks!)?
Brandon: We wanted to come up with a name that was just something that didn't have a defined meaning. It was just a word, something we put together. We wanted to make it ambiguous. There are certain bands where you don't even listen to them because you feel like you already know what they are going to sound like. You might get turned off based upon their name. We felt like if we didn't do that, it would give people a little bit more of a mystery. We're all about trying to make things with multilayers and things you've got to dive into to appreciate a little bit more. We felt like making the name more ambiguous that that would lend itself to that. It means whatever you want it to mean. Some people have said, I think in Portuguese, it roughly means to live on the coast, sort of be on the coast, which worked. Then in Italian, I think it roughly means to be hidden or withdrawn.
Marc: I always thought it kind of sounds like-
Brandon: Like the mafia.
Marc: An Italian crime family.
Brandon: That's what my dad said. He was like, "You guys trying to be in the Italian mob or something?" Which, obviously we're not.
What does your band sound like? What do you guys normally answer with when you're asked this question?
Brandon: Well, we're taking from different elements. There is stuff like Radiohead, which we really like the hybrid and electronic, the rock music. We're trying to be like Autolux mashed with Neil Young. You know, bands like that. Really, originally, we were trying to do like a electronic rock hybrid with lots of full key harmonies and some stuff like that.
Shane: It's 60's rock and folk and lots of modern stuff. We started to do this electronic thing and started to do more like that. It's really trying to incorporate as many different genres and temperaments as possible. For the layman person, I guess its rock music.
Brandon: We're just good old rock and roll. Nothing wrong with that.
How does your creative process typically work?
Brandon: It's been interesting because it's kind of changed since we've started all playing together.
Jace: We all carry a different style. One song was created right before we went on tour with Brandon coming in and playing. The next song was Shane and I just jamming on drums. Then Mark presented us a song. It's all different and it's coming from all of us.
Brandon: Everywhere from coming in with songs to jamming songs or ideas that are built upon. It's different. I don't think we have this one way necessarily.
Shane: There usually is one part that's already written and we expand.
Jace: It's cool though. There is no preconceived notion how it's going to sound. One of the things that I really liked about this band from the get-go was work hard, but don't be afraid to put your own interpretation on it. Make it big. I think that's carrying over to the writing process quite nicely. Yeah, somebody will present something, but there's not going to be really any dictation in terms of how you're supposed to play.
Shane: Yeah, for the older material, we don't want them to be puppets or anything. You just put your own spin on it.
Marc: I think a lot of the old songs have evolved with the new lineup. We've kind of made them our own.
What do you think the biggest challenge is being a band in Los Angeles?
Jace: Everyone else is trying to do the same thing.
Shane: Really, everyone is trying to be in a band.
Brandon: It's funny. I was just talking about this on the way back from Bakersfield. We played a really awesome show out there. It's like we only have to go an hour and a half and it's like a totally different world. You're kind of celebrated and you make money. It's interesting when you go into smaller towns, they appreciate you more and they really want to just have music. Here in LA and New York and these bigger towns, you're playing a show, people are like, hmm, they are watching you and it's like blah, blah, blah. Then you go to these other towns and they have just this reckless abandonment and it's just like we want to have fun. They want to see a show and they appreciate it. Here it's definitely over saturated. With that said, I feel like that forces you to also push yourself even further to distinguish yourself from the other bands. There are lots of great bands in LA right now and there probably always will be. A lot of our favorite bands are bands in LA right now whom we play with and stuff. I love LA, I was born and raised here, so I love the city. It is a double-edged sword because there are so many bands to compete against.
If you could change one thing about the music industry, what would it be?
Shane: (Jokingly) The fact that they are not acknowledging us.
Brandon: It's a bit like clubs and venues expect the artist to make all the draw. They should be able to promote their shows as well. Most of the time, these smaller places in LA, they don't even want to pay you. It's a joke. The arts really treated unfairly in the U.S. in general. Also, not being fined for putting up show posters. And, this isn't exclusive to LA, but I wish we could play a lot more all ages shows.
Shane: I was going to say that.
Brandon: The alcohol industry controls a lot of shows obviously. I wish we could play to more people. Most of our fan base, as we can find out in Facebook analytics or whatever, its 25 to 34-year old males. I'm not complaining, but it would be cool to do some more shows. A lot of the all ages places are kind of lame, which is sad because kids want to see shows.
Random Questions
Best live show you've ever gone to?
Brandon: Seeing Grizzly Bear play at The Wiltern was amazing. It was one of those shows that gave me goosebumps the entire time. There have been a lot of good ones, but that was one of my favorites.
Jace: My favorite live show of all time is Circa Survive at The Glass House in Pomona. It's the only time I've ever seen them. I was just blown away.
Ian: I saw Jack White at Radio City about a year ago and it just so happened he was really pissed off from the night before, so he didn't say a word to the audience the entire set. I thought that was like the most badass thing. He didn't say anything until the end and he said thank you and he walked off stage. That's like a rock show.
Marc: The best live show experience I ever had was in 1993 at Cornell University and it was a group from Japan. It was just sound produced by 50-60 drums and drummers on stage at the same time playing. The largest drum must have been at least like 10 feet in diameter and just the sound, the power of the music went and affected that auditorium and the people listening to it. People came to that show in tuxes and were standing up and like shouting at the top of their lungs. It was an amazing experience for me and definitely one of the most formative and profound shows I've ever been to.
Favorite things to do, not musically related.
Jace: I'm into photography and videography. I just got back from Arizona yesterday at midnight, I was shooting photos for a website for a motel. I do that on the side a lot of times. Playing guitar. Staying creative.
Brandon: I'm a huge movie fan.
Jace: We definitely have like a penchant for strange cinema, and I think that's something that we all kind of share.
Brandon: Yeah.
Marc: I think there is stuff we actually like that is not that strange, but we really do need to do that Star Wars marathon.
Brandon: Yeah, definitively, movies. We also just got back from a band hiking trip.
If you could be a fictional character, who would you be?
Brandon: I'm on the Star Wars thing, so…
Marc: You can't all be Boba Fett.
Brandon: Siddhartha. I guess that's a real character.
Jace: Aragorn.
Marc: Jace the hero. I read this story. It's by one of my favorite authors, Jorge Borges. It basically chronicles this man who lives in Buenos Aires in Argentina, and his friend invites him over to his house and he goes, "I have to show you something." It's in the basement and it's underneath the staircase in the basement. This guy walks down the steps and he goes and checks out what's underneath the basement. He sees this point in space and it's called The Aleph. Just by looking, he can see simultaneously from every single point, every single direction and every single point of view, everything in the universe at once. I think that would be a really cool character to be.
Brandon: I think I'd be more down to earth. I'd be the dude from The Big Lebowski.
Ian: I'd stick with Lord of the Rings. I would be Tom Bombadil, the guy who lives in the woods. They cut him from the movies, but he was a great character.
If you ran Badass Bands Blog, what are some bands that you would feature?
Marc: I would do a band called Slow Collapse. At the time when I was looking to join a band, I went with Nacosta, but Slow Collapse was one of the other bands that I saw that needed a bassist. Then they had an EP online and I downloaded the EP and I love it. It's completely different styles. It's harder, it's I guess post-hardcore, the good sub-genre whatever. They were really good. They have like 500 likes on Facebook when they should be like 10 times that. They are really talented. I would send them.
Brandon: I'd say our friends from New York called The Bottom Dollars. It's a really cool band. Man, you know something? I love IndianGiver.
Jace: Oh, yeah.
Brandon: IndianGiver. Oklahoma. Yeah, their band was started in Oklahoma and the last tour was really good.

Leonilo Guzman-Hernandez, a citizen of Mexico, illegally entered the United States without inspection in 2008. In July 2010, the Department of Homeland Security issued Petitioner a notice to appear, charging him as removable for having entered the United States without being admitted or paroled by an immigration officer. Petitioner conceded that he was removable as charged and filed an application for withholding of removal based on his membership in a particular social group—homosexuals.
According to his credible testimony, Guzman-Hernandez' sexual orientation became readily apparent when he was seven years old and, at this time, his parents began to mistreat him. His parents tried to change him by making him work on the family's small parcel of farmland from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and only provided him with one meal a day. His parents also beat him and were verbally abusive. His half-brother and sister also mistreated him by verbally harassing him. When Guzman-Hernandez was seven years old, an 18-year-old neighbor raped him. Guzman-Hernandez never told anyone because he was ashamed, he thought his parents would beat him if they found out, and the neighbor threatened to beat and kill him if he said anything. Guzman-Hernandez further testified that he had lived in the small, rural town of Tlamamala, Hidalgo, Mexico and the police in town "mistreated [him] with words." Guzman-Hernandez' neighbors would tell him that he should not be gay and that he shamed his parents. Because of these statements by neighbors, his parents beat him. At school, Guzman-Hernandez' classmates pushed him, but the teacher did not do anything about it.
When he was 18 years old, Guzman-Hernandez moved to Monterrey, Mexico. Guzman-Hernandez worked in five or six different restaurants, but he was fired from all of them when his sexual orientation was discovered. After living in Monterrey for two years, Guzman-Hernandez returned to his hometown to work in the fields and financially support his parents. Guzman-Hernandez lived with and was able to support his parents for seven years before coming to the United States. He decided to come to the United States because his parents continued to mistreat him despite the fact that he was supporting them financially.
The immigration court ordered him removed and Guzman-Hernandez appealed the the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit. Guzman-Hernandez did not dispute that he is removable as charged, but contended that the Board of Immigration Appeals erred in finding that he had not established that (1) his rape was on account of his sexual orientation; (2) the cumulative effect of the incidents he experienced amounted to past persecution, and (3) he would more likely than not be persecuted if returned to Mexico based on his sexual orientation. The federal appellate court affirmed the BIA determination, noting that because he did not establish past persecution, there is no presumption that he would more likely than not be persecuted in the future.

How to select the best Marriage Counsellor:
Life before and after marriage is not the same always. Getting adjusted to live with a partner might need some kind of adjustments and you might have to come out of your comfort zones. Answer to the important question 'What to expect' after marriage will be clarified by the marriage counsellors. We know that marriage is a commitment for our lifetime in Indian traditions. Thus pre-marital counselling becomes a must to keep up this tradition of ours when we do not know much about our would be, when we want to understand them better in a short span, when you want to accept each other in their own way and when you want to make the rest of your life the best.
Qualities to look for which choosing the best Marriage counsellor includes:
- Expertise in marriage counselling
- Flexibility to satisfy your needs
- Reach-ability and approachability should not be a concern
Points to Ponder:
Now that we have listed the qualities, we might also have to check the fee for the sessions and the value for money factor! Rather than selecting them blindly, look out for references, read reviews and testimonies on them and then decide.
Check here for the Common Questions to ask a Vendor before booking.
Additional Questions that you may ask the Marriage Counsellor:
- Do you offer counselling together or individually?
- Do you offer counselling for in-laws too?
- Will you be able to do this at my place?
- Is there a confidential agreement that you give?
- What are the reports that you give?
- Are you a certified counsellor?

Nowadays, more and more companies and their IT disaster recovery teams are using secure hybrid cloud servers for everything from web hosting services to hosting of their files. Even if you haven ever thought about using cloud computing for hybrid cloud hosting of your website and your office's files, now is the time to think about doing so. A good managed hosting company that takes things like DDoS protection seriously can be more capable of keeping your website and your files safe than you can with your own servers and hardware. These are a few reasons why.

Digitization of business information is a top priority for many organizations in Canada. Large amounts of workplace data is still trapped in paper documents despite the technology leaps we have seen in the last decade or so. Today's business documentation environment is of a hybrid nature where digital workflows paper and documents coexist. However, the popularity of mobile phones has led to the birth of the next real thing as far as mobile forms app and digital workflow is concerned. The migration of businesses from paper documents to mobile workflow is imminent with mobile devices gradually becoming the preferred computing platform.
Every day, there is a change somewhere in the world of technology changes. It could be the development of a new application or evolution of a new one or even creation of a new cloud-based solution. As a result, the IT services sector has seen great changes in development and deployment of technologies. One of the greatest impacts of the ever increasing developments on the IT support profession is the emergence of a tech-savvy generation which is forever demanding the latest technological innovations.
Microsoft is widely noted for their practice of finding trends within the products of competitors that are appreciated by end-users and introducing those trends into their own products a revision or two down the road, demonstrating their desire to meet the desires of users who are currently out of the Microsoft fold. The latest demonstration of this practice is the release of buy Office 2016 as a subscription-based product.
Help desk support is often a remote business model by design. Even "hands-on" responsibilities can generally be achieved using IT management software installed on a clients' workstations. Therefore, it stands to reason that when an IT support company seeks growth, it looks beyond its local markets and even the borders of its home country for new clientele. Let us consider some key areas that an IT support firm must account for when scaling on an international level.
Graphic designers work with more than just advanced image-editing tools. They send emails, manage their finances and self-employment taxes, invoice clients, and seek out new job opportunities. It's imperative to use a powerful software package that can do everything quickly and simply, without the hassle of specialized and expensive apps. With Microsoft Office 2007, designers and illustrators can take care of business and leave time to do what they really want: design.
Windows 7 shows no sign of its dominance fading any time soon. NetMarketShare's 2016 user survey reveals a whopping 50.69% global market share for 2016. How did it earn its place in the operating system hall of fame? The interface and stability. Windows Vista is infamous for breaking compatibility and poorly received interface. Windows 7 addresses these complaints and strengthens the foundation Microsoft Windows is known for.
The world has evolved to a point where industries are wholly dependent on technology. This applies to even service industries. Some industries generate energy but all industries consume energy and release waste energy as part of the end products of any process. Electrical appliances generate heat whilst in use to ease man's work. At time, the heat amounts to lost productivity due to decreased efficiency or malfunction in totality. For this reason, ingenious cooling devices and methods have been coined up by physicists including vortex coolers, cabinet coolers and hazardous area cabinet coolers.

I just finished reading all of the letters for this week. Just got a new companion yesterday named Elder Agostinelli. We are getting to know each other now. Things are going great.
I hope that Shara keeps doing well. Thanks for letting me know. I know that things are going to go how the Lord wants them to. I wish I could be there to help and support. I will be doing what I can from here. Thank you so much for the information. I know that it is a hard process and there is so much that will happen.
I am doing well. It was a hard day yesterday to have a change in companions. Things are going well though. I am writing today because of the changes from yesterday. I really appreciate everything. Thanks for all of the help and always being here to help and support. I will focus on pictures next week. I need to take some more this week. We are going to work hard on a lot of things.
Hi Braxton,
I am happy to hear from you. Are you still in the same area and still a District Leader? How long has Elder Agostinelli been out on his mission?
I am doing really well. We are working really hard with Sebastian and doing our best to work more with Ronald, Claudio´s brother. Things have been going really well. We have a ton of work to do and there never seems to be enough time to accomplish everything that we are working towards. I have seen so many blessings and miracles worked through the Lord and His mercy. I really appreciate everything and I am sorry that I wasn´t able to write more. I am a little rushed. I am going to do my very best to get you more information and pictures for next week. Sorry. I really appreciate everything.
Elder Agostinelli is from Perú from Araquipa and he has 5 months in the mission. He is in his 4th change. He was in Republica in Avenida Matta for 3 changes. I will get back to you more as I get to know him better. I love you and let everyone know that I love them and that things are going really great. I really appreciate everything. Hermana Erthal and Hermana Vincent had changes as well and Hermana Collado arrived in El Sauce with Hermana Pizarro and Hermana Arajo arrived in El Manzano with Hermana Zanelli. Elder Allen and Elder Clegg stayed and I am still District Leader of the same District. I love you and will get back to you next week!
Thanks Braxton. Have a really awesome week! I love you and I am so proud of you. Be Goode!
Love always and forever,
I am still in the same area. I just answered the other 2 in my other email.
Talk to you next week love you!

Frosty Pop Corps, the folks who brought us games such as High Dive (Free) and Big Fishy (Free), are back at it and have not one but TWO games coming to the App Store in the very near future. We'll start with the one that's releasing first, which is a wacky take on hockey called Slap Shots! In it you'll control a single hockey player who seems content on just spinning in a circle, while the typically stationary goal goes moving about the screen. Your goal (HEH) is to stop your player so they're aiming towards wherever the goal is as well as time the power of your shot appropriately. Here's a video to supplement my terrible description of the game.
As you can see, there's also the element of JUST MAKE CROSSY ROAD JEEZ in Slap Shots! as there's tons of unlockable characters, a similar voxel graphic style, free gifts galore, and more. Although the underlying mechanics seem quite simple, Frosty Pop says there's actually quite a bit of hidden depth to the game: "Every game you play poses a slightly different challenge depending on how you approach shooting the puck. The strength and angles you use to shoot will create obstacles or openings for subsequent shots you take. Players can choose to just goof off or plan ahead and strategize." Slap Shots! will be arriving on January 26th, just in time for the NHL All-Star Game. Oh! And the game will be doing a crossover promotion with Colin Lane's Dunkers (Free), so expect to see some special characters from that too.
As for their second game, it probably couldn't be any more different from Slap Shots! The game is called Puff, and it's an 8-bit style retro-inspired game that has you flapping around, dodging hazards, and blasting enemies through a dank sewer system. I'll just go ahead and rip the description straight from Frosty Pop themselves, because it's so good: "If Flappy Bird and Downwell did some baby makin' that created a love child with the shakes and a propensity for dubstep, this game would be it. With sweet controls that work like hand churned butter and be cold trippin' like Bob Dylan, you need to tap, shoot, dodge, and weave your way through a sewer full of slime balls, eyeballs, goofballs, and water balls. If this game doesn't make you twitch, you are a robot." Here's a couple of gifs!
Seems you'll be simultaneously flapping and shooting and also avoiding things like the ceiling caving in on your head, and once you clear a room you'll rise up through the caved-in roof and make your way through the sewers. So like Downwell, but up. Upwell? At any rate it sounds like a really cool mashup of several different types of gameplay mechanics, and of course I totally dig the retro visuals. The game also features a "progressive (and relative) difficulty" that should scale itself to how well you're playing, so I'm interested to see how that works out. Unfortunately Puff is a bit further out than Slap Shots! and Frosty Pop expects to ship the game sometime in late February, but if we get any more information ahead of that time we'll be sure to share it with you here.

Car runs great. I had just bought it, so I didn't really notice if there was much performance difference. Looks cool, though.
There are no customer reviews for this product

Well before I say anything remotely bad about this product, let me start with the good. Everything fit awesome. installation directions were very clear and concise. it looks a hundred times better than that ridiculous hunk of plastic I pulled out of there. the quality of craftsmanship in the product was top-notch. was much less exppensive than the competitors I looked at. the sound is great. quiet under normal driving. but in the likely event that I put my foot into it, I could hear my baby breathe. However, no change in mpg. not even a point. my driving habits are unchanged, and I am still getting 15.4 mpg. haven't gained a single point. not a one. at all. that is my only qualm. that was half the point to buying this thing. I figured "Oh, it'll pay for itself over time", well, not yet. though there is a definite increase in throttle response, it makes me glad I bought it anyways. overall, I am pleased

I've been looking forward to this session for what feels like forever! It hasn't been all that long, but I've been that excited! When Stephanie and Nathan asked if we could go up to the Badlands for their last wedding portrait session I jumped on that fast. I've been dying to get a bride and groom out there!! These two are so natural to work with, I could shoot them all day long. A lot of that is the love they have for each other and their natural chemistry! They fit together so well and feel so natural together. They laugh, kiss, snuggle, joke, and it's a blast getting to be there to capture all of that for them. Nathan joked that he didn't brush up on his Pinterest poses this time, so I'd have to help him more. He may not have studied up like he did for their engagement session, but he didn't need to at all. The looks of love and admiration that he showered on Stephanie were the sweetest, and exactly what I wanted to capture. Stephanie of course just exuded happiness. You can't not be happy around these two. It's not possible.
Stephanie and Nathan were married in the LDS Gila Valley Temple on January 21st, where Stephanie grew up, but had a reception in Holbrook, AZ where Nathan grew up. We couldn't pass up the chance to get in some Northern Arizona portraits since they'd be all dressed up for the reception!
Apparently him getting a pointing picture is a thing…I couldn't leave it out!
One fun thing about the Badlands is that in the hour and a half we were there, they changed dramatically as the sun sank lower and lower and as we moved in and out of the shade. Yellows morph into oranges, which deepen to reds, which then turn to purples and cool to blues. It's pure magic out there!
When we lived near Stephanie's family as newlyweds, people asked all the time if Stephanie and I were cousins, and it made me smile every time! After portraits in the badlands Cameron and I got to go to the reception in Holbrook and we laughed as I was asked 3 different times if I was Stephanie's sister. I take that as a huge compliment! This girl is gorgeous!! (And nope…no relation!)
"Would it be okay if I dip her?" Oh Nathan, you're my favorite! Yes!

Wasn't Quoted, But First Reference in Bibliography
Some might wonder why I am writing about Midian? Well, I suppose it's out of old habit. But, moreso, it's interesting to think how much I had helped shape Midian, and even influenced people that researched Midian. It just seems odd now, to look back and see a person's writing as a PhD candidate referencing a Midian Forums posting I did mainly to start the conversation with Midian over players' rights and that annoying JSJR mantra that even Jade then supposedly cringed at hearing. Yet, it became prevalent, even if it was, and probably still is, a misconception.
The conclusion that Ms. (or now Dr.?) Maria Bäcke comes to seems very spot on to me:
I would argue that [the RPer] feels like this mainly because the current type of role-play fits her. If it evolved into something she would not be as happy with, she might decide that it is time to leave, just like some of the game-players have decided to do. This is one of the ways in which it is possible to see the link between the rules, the "laws," of a digital space and that which happens in it — and the result it brings. These rules can be thought of as the boundaries of a magic circle, enabling and facilitating the roleplay as well as attempting to restrict OOC drama. But the magic circle is porous, the discussions about the essence of the medium, the rules and the code, and how to play in the "correct way" constantly continues.
This really is what we see, or did see in Midian at the time. For many, who had a 'correct' way of RPing in Midian, they felt 'free' under JSJR. But, for those in the past that got disenfranchised by the changes, because there was really no other recourse, they left. Midian is not the only place that is like this. It's the nature of the game. Other places I have RPed at have had similar aspects. And indeed it is a matter of being porous, and not 'free.' There are certain liberties in a given RP sim or estate, but, they are only open in as much as the community and the sim owner are open to things. While the sim owner has the final say on things, if said owner does things against the flow of what the community wants, and if that thing done by the sim owner or its administrators is such that it takes away perceived freedoms, then the sim/estates see a exodus of players leaving the sim. However, what Jade, and many other sim/estate owners bank on is being able to rebuild with the new rules and lay claim to a newer community that suits the new rules. Those that stay tend to be the ones that either supported or can at least live with the new rules. They are also the ones that weren't banned, silenced, nor otherwise provoked to leave.
But even so, it's nice to see that my views and discourse couldn't be completely stifled. There will always be remnants that document my discourses and warnings of the tyranny of both dictatorship of sim owners and oligarchy of the masses. The two go hand in hand. And you don't need a PhD to see this. But it's nice to know you can still be referenced by a potential candidate for one. =~.^=

See, and here we got the evidence for my former comment about you being in need of a life. Another lengthy pseudo-intellectual post which most less educated people would call 'ego wanking.ReplyDelete
Quod era demonstrandum!
wow, someone's touchy <.<ReplyDelete
and btw,ReplyDelete
Si quod est demonstrandum, ostensum sit!
Is it still "ego wanking" if its true? :)ReplyDelete
hmm, good question! xDReplyDelete
Suppose it's possible, and if so, makes oh so more enjoyable, don't you think? Call it a brand new kink. Muhahaha!
Cum summum, cum bonum... ever notice that the Romans talk about cum alot? o.O
That's just gross, Ioh >.<ReplyDelete
A gross assumption? xDReplyDelete
Translated, the Latin says, "With the summit, with the good." Not all so gross, other than it's hard to find the net profit of such an altruism, but still words to live by is seeking out the highest good. ;)
Okay I have the time, I'm gonna hand out some prizes to your fanboy Takuma here, if you don't mind.ReplyDelete
*cracks knuckles and hunches over keyboard*
Takuma or whomever you are what is it that makes you think you're in any justifiable position to make personal attacks on Ioh, in this case negatively commenting on his personal life and character, while hiding behind an SL avatar, no less? Does Ioh know you? No? Guess what, that makes you a coward!
*awards 1st class coward prize*
For our next prize, we raise the issue of "needing a life". By whose authority? Yours? Dude, you play SL and by most other human beings standards that means YOU also need to get a life!
*awards "needs to get a life" prize*
Next, "lengthy pseudo-intellectual post". Lawl, this one's funneh...so by what standards do you proclaim to be able to judge whether something is pseudo-intellectual or not? Sheer intelligence? I think not, since you've not shown any so far. Moral right? Whose morals? Yours, again? Do you think Ioh cares what you think or say? Probably not, so why say it? Because you're one of Jade's sycophants? Or friends with Ioh's enemies? Probably.
In your case it seems you're just saying it for the sake of saying something nasty and hurtful, for the sheer pleasure of it, isn't that right?
*awards "presumptuous asshole" prize*
"Less educated" people?!? Er...what does that have to do with what Ioh said, and what makes you think less educated people resort to the use of phrases like "ego wanking" for wont of anything else? Maybe...because you yourself couldn't find a better phrase? Mmm? And what about less educated people? Not decent enough for you? Only mix with university degree types, do you? Newsflash: "less educated" people built your country, you snob. "Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep." Sound familiar? In other words, they fulfill vital social functions, unlike your presence here on this blog.
*awards snob prize AND less educated prize*
And what's with the quoting of the Latin, mmm? Obviously you're offended by Ioh's quoting and thought you'd take a little bash at him, eh? A little "Here's some QUOTING right back atcha!" so to say? Think it added any validity to your insults? Nope. Think it looks neat? Nope, it just puts you into a quoting war with Ioh, which is silly.
But that's OK, you're good at looking silly :)
Next time you wanna swing your penis around someone's blogsite, big guy, be safe and put a condom on it why don't you? Others don't appreciate the filth stains when you ejaculate your drivel all over the place.
*awards you a condom..."Wait, what size? What's that? Extra Extra Large? Thought you'd say that. Sorry, only have regular. Aww geee, lookit that, it fits you...JUST FINE!*
Oh I don't mind. I did make this blog to get away from Flickr's weak TOS on freedom of speech anyways. Just play nice, and use safe words if you have to. <.<ReplyDelete
*smacks his extra extra large penis right in Miss Kentoku's face* You obviously have too much free time at hand either considering the length of your post. And now please go and do something within the scope of your skills i.e. cook my meals and haul my trash!ReplyDelete
*slowly steps back out of the fading limelight pressing the awards firmly against his chest* Thank you, thank you, thank you. My job here is done.
Takuma grabs his little pecker and cries, "Oh GOD! Why is it so small? I am constantly pulling it." Ashy reassures the ego deflated Takuma, "Thats OK, if you keep pulling it, perhaps someday it will grow up and be a pee pee like the big boys have, mmm?"ReplyDelete
Lawl...and you're the kind of person who likely communicates with grunts and monosyllables so anything more than that would seem like a lengthy post to you, wouldn't it?
And now please go and do something within the scope of your skills i.e. try find your teeny wiener and jerk off.
Better still, go back to Teen SL.

We are all default economists in Zimbabwe now. Or at least some sort of experts in asset management and financial services. Mainly because of the collective national panic over the introduction of bond notes at the end of this month. It all begins with those that have savings of one form or the other. WhetherREAD MORE

At Queensway Dental Billingham, we can provide dental treatment to patients on the NHS. Unfortunately, this treatment isn't available for everyone, so we encourage our patients to read the information on this page for clarification around eligibility.
Who is eligible for NHS treatment?
The NHS will provide any clinically necessary treatment needed to keep your mouth, teeth and gums healthy and free of pain. Queensway Billingham provides NHS dental care, but we are capped at the number of patients that we can see. For this reason we are not accepting new NHS patients at the moment.
NHS dental charges from 1 April 2017
The charge you pay depends on the treatment needed to keep your mouth, gums and teeth healthy. You will only ever be asked to pay one charge for each complete course of treatment, even if you need to visit your dentist more than once to finish it – either Band 1, Band 2 or Band 3.
If you have to be referred to another dentist for another, separate course of treatment, you can expect a second charge. Some minor treatments, including having stitches removed or repair to dentures (if they can be mended), are free.
If you are not exempt from charges, you should pay one of the following charges for each course of treatment you receive:
Band 1 course of treatment: £20.60
This covers an examination, diagnosis (eg X-rays), advice on how to prevent future problems, a scale and polish if needed, and an application of fluoride varnish or fissure sealant. If you require urgent care, even if your urgent treatment requires more than one appointment to be completed, you will need to pay one Band 1 charge only.
Band 2 course of treatment: £56.30
This covers everything listed in Band 1 above, plus any further treatment such as having fillings, root canal treatment work as well as covering the cost of taking out one or more of your teeth where necessary.
Band 3 course of treatment: £244.30
This covers everything list in Bands 1 and 2 above, plus provision of crowns, dentures and bridges.
Free NHS dental treatment or help with health costs
As a current NHS patient you may be eligible for help with all or part of the costs of your NHS dental treatment. To see if this applies to you, see the leaflet NHS dental services in England, which is available from any NHS dental practice or online. If you pay for dental treatment you will be required to pay the appropriate band charge at your visit.
For advice on how to get help with health costs call 0845 850 1166 or see Help with health costs (HC11), which is available from Jobcentre Plus offices and NHS dentists, or at www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk

Woman-Centered Pregnancy Care in Hungary
Team Member: Daisy Dinwoodie
EVENT DATE May 24, 2014
Nicholas Rubashkin wrote -
**SPECIAL PERK*** When you donate from now until the end of June you can receive a FREE ebook copy of Dr Sarah Buckley's "Gentle Birth, Gentle Mothering" (First edition, 2005). SEND AN EMAIL to email@example.com if you would like a copy!
With the support of a Fulbright Research Award and the Semmelweis University Institute of Behavioral Sciences, over the past semester I have developed a survey which will explore the birth experiences of Hungarian women. During this time I have collaborated with experts in Hungary, across Europe, and in Canada and the United States.
Drawing from the U.S.-based Listening to Mothers and the Canada-based Changing Childbirth surveys, our research will similarly ask Hungarian women about aspects of their maternity and newborn care, such as how important it was to have a choice of birthplace, about how well they were supported in labor, and whether they felt pressured to accept obstetric interventions. Additionally, our survey will explore new areas such as the use of under-the-table cash payments in pregnancy care--a method of payment peculiar to the underfunded health systems of Central and Eastern Europe.
This is an interesting time to explore pregnant women's experiences in Hungary, where home birth became legal in 2010 as a result of the landmark European Court of Human Rights decision, Ternovsky vs. Hungary. This ruling has implications for birth policies throughout Europe, and indeed, Ternovksy has provoked debate in the U.S. regarding women's rights in pregnancy.
Your donation will allow us to contract with a survey firm (Ipsos) to gather a representative sample of 1000 Hungarian women. Ipsos is a respected firm and will add validity to our results, thus opening up more publishing avenues and enabling us to have a broader impact. Your donation will cover survey compilation on the Ipsos platform, translation (English/Hungarian), distribution, and submitting our findings to media outlets within Hungary, Europe, and the US.
Once compiled, I will send the survey's findings to all of you who donate and include a media plan that details to which publications we are submitting. I will also create a brief summary of the results for you to share throughout your social networks.
**NOTE: If you are a Hungarian woman with a child under the age of five AND you plan to particpate in our survey, please DO NOT donate to our campaign.**
Thank you so much for your contribution.

Jolene Blalock Played Captain Lola Beck In Starship Troopers 3 Marauder Which Was
Jolene King Blalock (born March 5, 1975) is an American film and television actress and model, perhaps best known for playing the Vulcan T'Pol on the UPN science fiction series Star Trek: Enterprise. She posed for a clothed fashion layout in Playboy in April 2002. Even though she filmed some scenes, the flashback scenes in that episode were changed from Sawyer to Michael (Harold Perrineau), and her scenes were never actually used in an episode, nor featured as "deleted scenes" in the DVD set's bonus material. She played Captain Lola Beck in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, which was released directly to DVD in the US, on August 5, 2008. Blalock legally changed her name to Jolene Ava King Rapino before the birth of her son. Blalock and Rapino gave birth to a baby boy, Ryder James Rapino on May 25, 2010.
